“These chocolate-covered spoons make delightful holiday gifts. They are so wonderful to have at home, too. Use them to stir a little chocolate into your coffee, or strengthen your hot chocolate. You will need 20 to 24 plastic spoons for this recipe. ”

I made these for gift baskets to go with hot chocolate mix. They were super simple to make! Turned out very pretty and make a great addition to my baskets! Now I have to make more for my kids!! Thanks!

I am writing this review with the most delicious cup of chocolate caramel coffee at my side. I crushed Werther's Originals and sprinkled them on the chocolate covered spoons I had made. OUTSTANDING! I thought it would be easy to cover the spoons but found that first I had to covered the back with chocolate, let that harden; then, fill the spoon with chocolate and let that harden. For some reason I thought I would be able to "dip and go". Once I filled the front with chocolate, I sprinkled on the Werther's Originals. (I crushed them till they were almost powder like so they melt nice in the coffee). To let them "dry", I happened to have a box sitting on the table so I slid the handle of the spoon under the flap of the box. This way the chocolate didn't get smashed. They looked very nice.

These turned out very nicely. They look great! I did change things, but this is a great idea. I used white and chocolate almond bark instead of the chips and skipped the refrigeration step. It doesn't seem necessary, and air drying will take care of any sugar blooms that people complain of. I waited for the first layer to harden, then drizzled the white chocolate over top. I used plastic spoons, but in retrospect, I should have gone to the dollar store for some cheap-o silverware. That would have looked nicer; I will be sure to do that next time I make these. Thank you :)

i always have bad luck microwaving things, so i opted for the double-boiling with this recipe. i added a tablespoon of shortening for every cup of morsels i melted, like someone suggested, and the finish look was glossy. however, after the fourth day, the chocolate "spots" started showing up. so i suggest not making this days in advance like i did. overall, i had a great time, but took almost forever (about 3.5 hours) to finish only 15 spoons.

These are so easy. I made them along with the cranberry hootycreek jar recipie and the cappucino mix. I crushed some mint candy canes and sprinkled the on top before the chocolate set. Very pretty and a nice gift! Thanks!

This is a great recipe to get creative with. For Christmas, I colored white chocolate with food coloring and added a couple of drops of peppermint flavoring.
Dipped some in the colored mint, then drizzled with melted chocolate and sprinkled with candy sprinkles. With some, I dipped in chocolate, stuck miniature marshamallows on while still wet, then drizzed the marshmallows with the colored chocolate. Wrapped in little cello bags and tied with curling ribbon, they are an impressive addition to gift baskets with a mug, some coffee, and homemade treats.

My grandson & I made these yesterday, we used ghirardelli double chocolate dipping chocolate to coat the spoons in & drizzled ghirardelli white chocolate on after the chocolate set up. I melted my chocolate (I too added a bit of shortening...about a tbp) in a double boiler because I have had chocolate seize up in the microwave & there's no need to hurry using a double boiler. We sprinkled some w/ colored sprinkles for the grands to use as lollipops. These spoons added a nice touch to our coffee this morning....thanks!

I held a holiday food craft party for a group of friends and these easy-to-make spoons were the hit of the party! So easy, and so rewarding - I highly reccommend. One tip: we lined the spoons on a baking pan layered with wax paper and after the first coat of chocolate, we put the pan in the freezer for 10 mintues. This allowed the chocolate to become firm before adding another layer and gave our spoons a really nice look.
